Consumers of resources in realistic applications (e.g., web, multimedia) typically derive diminishing-return utilities from the amount of resource they receive. A resource provide...
— We address a lifetime maximization problem for a single-hop wireless sensor network where multiple sensors encode and communicate their measurements of a Gaussian random source...
Background: Synthetic lethality experiments identify pairs of genes with complementary function. More direct functional associations (for example greater probability of membership...
We consider profit-maximization problems for combinatorial auctions with non-single minded valuation functions and limited supply. We obtain fairly general results that relate the ...

This paper compares two different ways of estimating statistical language models. Many statistical NLP tagging and parsing models are estimated by maximizing the (joint) likelihoo...
